The Clique Movie Characters

Massie Block
Massie Block is the official ruler of Octavian Country Day and is used to being the goddess and idol of all the students, until Claire, a new girl from Orlando, comes and shakes her perfect, natural pace of life. At first, Massie cannot stand Claire and decides to make her life miserable, and Claire doesn't understand why Massie doesn't like her. Massie sees Claire as a threat and is determined to stop her. Her lifelong struggle was to be the Queen Bee. It's the only thing she has. Claire responds by turning Massie's friends against her, thinking it was the only way to "fit in" and be the popular girl at school that everyone worshipped and wanted to be. At the end of the second book, they finally become friends. Throughout tough times Massie and Claire start to rely on each other. In the first book Massie falls for Chris Abeley but discovers that he has a disgustingly beautiful girlfriend named Fawn. In the second book Massie and Claire throw a Halloween party and they both fall for a Briarwood boy named Cam Fisher. In the third book Massie finds out that Alicia started her own Clique and discovers Cam likes Claire, not her. While dealing with Alicia, Massie starts liking Derrick Harrington, or Derrington, as the PC secretly call him. Her life is nowhere near perfect, she tackles a lawt of problems:

  • getting Chris to fall for Skye Hamilton even though they were falling for each other
  • and designing the overflow trailers.

It has been stated throughout the series that even though Alicia is more beautiful than Massie, Massie is the true alpha because is she is the most under control, over-thinking, and overall coolest member of the clique.

Iron Man 2


Six months after revealing his identity as Iron Man, Stark Industries CEO Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.) has helped maintain world peace. He opens the Stark Expo in Flushing, New York, to continue his father's legacy. A United States Senate committee, led by Senator Stern (Garry Shandling), demands Stark release the technology for military application. Stark refuses, publicly shaming rival Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell) in demonstrating how competitors are at least five years away from successfully recreating the technology.

Stark has discovered the palladium in the arc reactor keeping him alive is slowly poisoning him. All attempts to find a substitute element have failed. Slowly going off the rails as a consequence of what he believes to be his impending death, he appoints his former personal assistant Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) CEO of Stark Industries, replacing her with Natalie Rushman (Scarlett Johansson).

While participating in a race in Monaco, Stark is attacked by Ivan Vanko (Mickey Rourke), who has constructed a miniaturized arc reactor of his own, including whip-like attachments harnessing the electrical energy. Defeating Vanko with the aid of his briefcase armor, Stark discovers that Vanko is the son of his father's old business partner, disgraced Russian physicist Anton Vanko, who collaborated on the first arc reactor and has passed the technology on following his death. Ivan blames Tony and his family for his father's demise; Anton raised his son to believe Howard Stark betrayed him, having him deported back to the Soviet Union in order to receive all the credit for the arc reactor. Vanko is broken out of jail by Justin Hammer, who puts him to work fashioning a line of armored combat units that he will use to upstage Stark at his own Expo.

With the government leaning on him even harder following the revelation that arc reactor technology is in the hands of someone else, Stark throws what he believes will be his last birthday party and promptly proceeds to get drunk while wearing the Iron Man armor, becoming a danger to himself and others. His friend Lt. Colonel James Rhodes (Don Cheadle) is forced to take the Mark II armor and subdue Tony, delivering the armor to the military afterward. Disgraced, Stark is approached by Nick Fury, director of S.H.I.E.L.D (Samuel L. Jackson), who reveals Natalie is an undercover agent. He also provides Tony with a chest of his father's old artifacts, which can hopefully be used to find a cure for his palladium poisoning. Stark realizes his father has left him a hidden message in the original diorama of the 1974 Stark Expo; the model is also a diagram of the atomic structure of an unknown element, which Howard was unable to synthesize due to the limits of his era's technology. Tony builds a particle accelerator (held up partially by a halfway-constructed shield) in his home with the aid of his computer J.A.R.V.I.S. (voiced by Paul Bettany) and synthesizes this new element. The element is then loaded into a modified arc reactor chest piece and cures Stark's palladium poisoning. Afterward, Ivan calls Stark, revealing that he is free and set on revenge.

At the Expo, Hammer unveils his new military drones, captained by Rhodes in a heavily-weaponized version of the confiscated Mark II armor. Stark arrives as Iron Man intending to warn Rhodes, but Vanko takes control of both the drones and Rhodes's new armor, setting them to attack Iron Man. As Stark battles against these remote-controlled enemies, Potts has Hammer arrested while Stark's bodyguard Happy Hogan (Jon Favreau) and Natalie race to Hammer's Queens facility to stop Vanko. By the time they arrive, Vanko has already departed for the Expo in a new, more powerful suit of armor, but Natalie is able to give Rhodes control of his armor again so that he and Stark can fight together. After taking down the drones, the two fight Vanko in his new armor. They defeat him with a combined blast of their repulsor rays, but Vanko's armor and drones are then revealed to have been equipped with self-destruct charges. As they begin to go off, Stark races to save Pepper, rescuing her at the last minute. She quits her CEO position, claiming it to be too stressful for her, and she and Stark finally kiss. Rhodes departs with the Mark II armor, which he intends to keep.

At a debriefing, Fury informs Stark that while he is "unsuitable" for the "Avengers Initiative", S.H.I.E.L.D. wants him as a consultant and wants the Iron Man armor on the team with a more suitable person using it. Stark agrees on the condition that Senator Stern present him and Col. Rhodes with their medals for bravery.

In a post-credits scene, S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Coulson (Clark Gregg) informs Fury over the phone they've "found it", as an impact crater in the New Mexico desert is shown to contain Mjolnir, the hammer of Thor.

Out of My Head

A sunny Friday. In disturbed by an event [which was not important] that the outside event held at my school. Disrupt lessons, disturbing the peace Friday, disturbing mood, disturbing... everything... Hourly lessons of history is lost, "blessed" by the events that are not important. Imagine, no occasion whatever it was often disrupted, especially if there are such events???

I keep silence with two of my friends in the library. Reading the existing literature. One of these papers. I open a page that displays the schedule of films that were scheduled in theaters. I involuntarily took them, and they said "yes."

In class we talked about it again. And not just us who plan to go, but there are two others which one person I'm crush him/her.
Happy? Do not ask. Absurdly happy. But, I'm just quiet, did not show the actual expression.

After school, I did the Friday prayer first. Mandatory activities that must be implemented by the Muslims. After that, I'm with my friends to go to the cinema. Hoping to get a seat beside him/her at the time at the cinema. Expect more. But hope it gets a BIG ZERO value.

What is worse is when I know that people who BITCH [exactly is the person who makes me jealous] sitting side by side with him/her. So the value was DOBLE BIG ZERO.

Spring Must-Have: Overalls


Overalls are back! That's right, the barnyard classic and childhood favorite has been popping up all over the place from the Ralph Lauren SS10 runway to the backs of style-setters like Alexa Chung. And thankfully, this is one high fashion trend that is as comfortable and practical as it is fashion-forward. Give the look a sexy update by opting for a shorter version, or stick to the classics by wearing an artfully distressed (though no less chic) pair of overalls. If overalls feel too tomboyish for you, then get in on the recent 70s-inspired trend by opting for a more fitted denim jumpsuit. Whatever you choose, we can't think of a better outfit to wile away a sunny spring afternoon than in our old playtime favorite!

Worse than Fashion Disaster

You know what, the worse than fashion disaster??? The answer is CEREMONY ON SUNDAY. 'Cause of the national education day, a ceremony on that day. Why not wait for Monday? Can not wait? Basic. Government gone mad. I was forced to follow the ceremony. But, never mind. I FORGIVE THE GOVERNMENT. Since both my bestfriend invites me to go to shopping afterwards.

The ceremony was over and I'am with my two bestfriends went to Internetarium, an internet cafe. The question is, WHAT FOR US TO GO TO THERE. The answer is FOR CHANGE OUR UNIFORMS. Ridiculous indeed. But that is what happened. 'Cause we do not have time to come home anymore and change our uniforms at home.

So, after we switch uniforms with the "stylist" clothes, we leave to go to Paris Van Java. For shopping anything who us wanted. But apparently, we did not spend "anything who us wanted". But we only shop stationery and some books.
And you know, what a total number of all our purchases???

Rp.1.076.400,00. (And as you know, my credit card not limit anymore.)

Fantastic? Surprised? I'm thinking did not.

Anyway, I met with my two junior high school friends. And they are looks so "ah-mazing". Kidding. They are looks different than before I see them. I know something from them. They also followed the ceremony at their respective schools before. Hahaha, we [I'm and my bestfriends] thinking, just our schools which follow the CEREMONY ON SUNDAY. Apparently not.
